Villa Lario
resort
Most venues on Lake Como want to be seen. Villa Lario prefers to be felt.
Tucked into Mandello del Lario on the quieter eastern shore, this is one of our favourite spots on the lake for a multi-day wedding. Not because it's grand, but because it isn't. Eighteen suites, over 10,000 square metres of private parkland, and a team that will remember your guests' names the morning after.
Arrive by water taxi to the private dock. Aperitivo on the terrace while the sun disappears behind the mountains. Dinner by executive chef Luca Mozzanica, the kind where the table goes quiet when the food arrives. And then there are the caves: natural rock formations carved down to the water's edge. We always recommend them for a welcome evening.
Peaceful & intimate. Completely removed from the crowds. This is Lake Como as it should be.
18 suites
Passalacqua doesn't feel like a hotel. It feels like arriving at the home of someone with extraordinarily good taste, who also happens to employ a Michelin-starred kitchen.
Perched on the west shore of Lake Como in Moltrasio, with seven hectares of terraced gardens descending to the water through olive trees, fountains and roses, this is one of those places that stops you mid-sentence. Twenty-four suites. A secret underground passage connecting the villa to the lakefront. Over two centuries of history, Napoleon stayed here and so did Winston Churchill. Now it's the World's Best Hotel, with 3 Michelin keys to prove it.
For a multi-day destination wedding at Lake Como, Passalacqua is hard to beat. Ceremonies on the garden terraces with the lake below. Private boat arrivals. Dinners that stretch well past midnight. And mornings that nobody rushes. You'll choose Passalacqua for its soul. There's simply nowhere quite like it. And that's why we love it!

Villa Balbiano doesn't ask for your attention. It commands it. Quietly, completely, the moment you arrive by boat.
Built in the 16th century for Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio, this is the largest private residence on Lake Como: six suites designed by Jacques Garcia, 17th-century frescoes by the Recchi brothers still covering the walls untouched, furniture sourced from Sotheby's and Christie's, and gardens stretching over two hectares down to the lake's edge. A private pier, a boathouse and a classic wooden Riva boat waiting to take you out on the water after the ceremony.
For a multi-day destination wedding, the property is yours entirely. Welcome dinner on the terrace, your ceremony at the lakeside. Portraits through vine-covered arches with the mountains behind you. Fireworks over the water at midnight.
It is, without question, one of the most cinematic settings we work with.
Listed by Vogue US and Harper's Bazaar. Recognized by history. Unforgettable in person.
